A Dark Song
(2016)
Director:
Liam Gavin
A woman rents a house in the countryside. Her son was killed three years ago and she can’t let go. She hires a man to perform a ritual to speak with her son through black magic. This film follows their slow and drawn out journey of conditioning her soul but she could be hiding something.
I remember when @ifcmidnight announced this and I had plans to grab myself a copy but never did. It passed me by and I knew I would get to it eventually since it’s now on @netflix. I hadn’t heard many things about it but I figured I’d check it out since they release pretty solid horror films. This one in my opinion is not one of those. It started out interesting and I was excited to see what hell they were gonna go through but then I was an hour in and nothing really had happened. It’s a drawn out film like I mentioned above and it just shows them slowly progressing to cleanse her soul each day. It felt boring to me and I hoped it would get better towards the end but they also gave us a disappointing ending with minor explanation. I personally didn’t have high expectations but moderate ones and was let down. I’d say this is a skippable film and if you haven’t seen it yet just continue on that path.
I’d give this film a 3/10.

Aerico wasn't the only Maskmen beast experimented on, at the same lab as well. However Nightmare was there much longer than Eric was, which meant that he had to endure many more traumatising and torturous experiments.
The scientists at this lab were fascinated by his abilities and wanted to amplify them so that they could turn him into some sort of weapon.

Nightmare was an Alp, a beast mostly found in Germany that had the ability to give people nightmares by coming into contact with them and feed on their fear. However the experiments performed on him turned him into something much more dangerous; he now had the potential to kill people in their sleep from sheer terror. -
Unfortunately the experiments that were performed in order to achieve this power ended up being too much for the poor boy and, succumbing to both the mental and physical scars, his emotions completely shut down. He could no longer feel fear, happiness, sadness; now he was a silent, emotionless husk.
Years past and he still hasn't spoke a word or showed even a shred of emotions, perhaps the boy he once was is truly dead, or he is trapped and cannot get out.

The tragic truth is that we may never know
